Hey World!:)

Did you know that chicken liver is actually good for you?

Chicken livers are high in protein and a rich store of folate, which is important for fertility and helps prevent certain birth defects. Livers are also loaded with iron to give you energy and a treasure trove of certain B vitamins, most notably B12. This nutritional profile makes them a good choice for anyone prone to anaemia. Chicken livers are also one of the top sources of vitamin A, which helps eye health.

Lol i guess i say all that just so i can show you my brekkie! Twas gooooooooood!!! I'm not a fan of boiled banana (or fig as some call it) but once i have a lil callaloo to put with it, i can consume it.

Steamed... Not Fried

Hey World! :)

Just sending you some dinner tonight!

 

Steamed Fish from Miss T’s Kitchen :: Ocho Rios, Jamaica

 

Blue Draws

Hey World!

“[T]he Ghanaian “kenkey” is probably the origin of the Barbadian word, conkie for the above traditional food. In Ghana, Kenkey refers to similarly prepared corn meal dishes.”

In Jamaica, this is a popular traditional food  known as Dukunu aka  Blue Draws (Blue Drawer's) aka Tie-A-Leaf !  Above it is pictured wrapped in banana leaf but when i'm making it at home, i use aluminium foil. The main ingredient is normally cornmeal, sweet potato or cassava but yam may also be used.

Fish & Festival

Hey World!:)

Fish and Festival - Jamaican style! Fresh off the beach at Hellshire. I couldn't even wait to take the pic before i bite into that festival at the top.^_^

Here's another reason why you need to get to Jamaica ASAP!

Jamaican Saturday Soup

 

Hey World! :)

 

 

Having a bowl of soup on Saturdays is a Jamaican tradition whether it is pumpkin, beef, fish, chicken or red peas soup. So i'm just sharing some of my chicken soup with you. It was soooooooo tasty and i could smell the hot pepper (but not taste it luckily, because i can't handle that kind of heat. Therefore i had no other choice but to full my bowl to the brim hahahaha #DontJudgeMe

 

 Enjoy! ^_^
